By Wolf Richter:There have been waves of threats by Eurozone politicians to bully
people into accepting “whatever it takes” to keep the shaky construct of
the monetary union glued together. These threats peaked last year with disorderly default, and when that wasn’t enough, with thecollapse of the Eurozone. But now, the ultimate threat has been pronounced: war.It wasn’t an idle thought by a wayward parliamentarian on the radical
fringe but a well-articulated statement by Luxembourg Prime Minister
Jean-Claude Juncker who was, until January, the President of the
Eurogroup that manages the political aspects of the euro. And he’d
picked Europe’s largest magazine, Der Spiegel, to make it (excerpts here, rest behind pay wall).He’d alluded to it before. Last August, as he was jabbering
about Greece’s potential exit from the Eurozone, he lamented that “many
Germans and the German media” talked about Greece as if it were “a
people you couldn’t respect,” and that Greeks depicted Chancellor Angela
Merkel as if she were “the heiress of the Nazis.” And then his big
threat, albeit in veiled form: “What we thought had been buried long
ago, very quickly rises again.”

By Simon Black: Last Week In The Land Of The FreeIt's a pretty sad state of affairs in the Land of the Free when they
have to pass a law making it illegal for the government to assassinate
its own citizens. Yet that's exactly what's happening. Late last week, US Senator Ted Cruz introduced Senate bill S.505, "A
bill to prohibit the use of drones to kill citizens of the United States
within the United States." More than likely, this bill isn't going to go anywhere. It'll get
shuffled around to various committees and be largely forgotten. But the
fact that it was introduced shows just how far things have fallen in the
US. Again, do they really have to create a law to prevent the government from killing its own people? Curiously, it's interesting that this particular legislation stops at
outlawing the assassination of US citizens on US soil... as if the
Griswolds on their European vacationare acceptable targets...

Would the real Peter and Paul please stand up?In a previous life as a London-based ‘global strategist’ (I was never
sure what that was) I was known as someone who was worried by QE and
more generally, about the willingness of our central bankers to play
games with something which I didn’t think they fully understand: money.
This may be a strange, even presumptuous thing to say. Surely of all
people, one thing central bankers understand is money? They certainly should understand money. They print it, lend it,
borrow it, conjure it. They control the price of it… But so what? What
should be true is not necessarily what is true, and in the topsy-turvy
world of finance and economics, it rarely is. So file the following
under “strange but true”: our best and brightest economists have very little understanding of economics. Take the current malaise as prima facie evidence.Let me illustrate. Of the many elemental flaws in macroeconomic
practice is the true observation that the economic variables in which we
might be most interested happen to be those which lend themselves least
to measurement. Thus, the statistics which we take for granted and band
around freely with each other measuring such ostensibly simple concepts
as inflation, wealth, capital and debt, in fact involve all sorts of
hidden assumptions, short-cuts and qualifications. So many, indeed, as
to render reliance on them without respect for their limitations a very
dangerous thing to do. As an example, consider the damage caused by
banks to themselves and others by mistaking price volatility
(measurable) with risk (unmeasurable). Yet faith in false precision
seems to us to be one of the many imperfections our species is cursed
with.

The Slog:Greek
Foreign Minister Dimitris Avramopoulos and his Turkish opposite number
Ahmet Davutoglu aren’t getting along too well. It is the age-old issue
between Greece and Turkey: getting the Turks to recognise Greece’s right
to an exclusive economic zone (EEZ) on the Aegean Sea, and persuading
Ankara that Greek islands close to Turkey are called Greek on account of
being owned by Greece.It was only very recently that Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras
went to Turkey to make soothing noises in public with Recep Erdogan (left), but the latter is a confirmed expansionist who’d like Cyprus back, never mind the Greek islands off his coast.Yesterday, Avramopoulos told Greek media that “Nobody should doubt
our willingness and determination to defend this [EEZ]. International
law is our gospel.” One somehow can’t see this one being settled
quickly.Erdogan continues to be an inflexible pest in the region. Last week,
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and United Nations Secretary-General
Ban Ki-moon criticised his reference to Zionism being simply a form of
fascism. “Tt was not only wrong, but contradicts the very principles on
which the Alliance of Civilisations is based” said Ban Ki-Moon’s office
afterwards.What the Turkish leader actually said was “Zionism, fascism and
Islamaphobia are crimes against humanity”.

By Mark Deen:French industrial production fell
in January as Europe’s second-largest economy teetered on the
brink of its third recession in four years. Output from factories, mines, utilities and the
construction industry fell 1.2 percent in the month from
December, national statistics office Insee said in an e-mailed
statement. Economists had expected a 0.2 percent drop, according
to the median of 25 estimates gathered by Bloomberg News. The drop underlines the slowdown in the French economy at
the start of the year. Since then, factory managers have
reported improved orders as global demand recovers even as
President Francois Hollande’s budget cuts crimp domestic
spending. “Business surveys suggest a contraction in January,” said
Pierre-Olivier Beffy, chief economist at Exane BNP Paribas in
London. “The rebound in export orders gives a ray of hope for
the spring.” France slipped back into recession in the first half of
last year for the first time since the first quarter of 2009.
After shrinking 0.2 percent in the final quarter of 2012, gross
domestic product will shrink 0.1 percent in the current quarter
before returning to growth in the three months through June,
according to the median forecast of 13 gathered by Bloomberg. Sentiment among manufacturing executives climbed for a
third month in February, the Bank of France said last week. The
central bank’s services index, which is more closely correlated
with domestic demand, fell.

By Jon Rappoport: It’s called doubling down. First, a
teacher at the Park Elementary School in Baltimore flips out, because
7-year-old Josh Welch bites his strawberry tart, trying to make it look
like a mountain—but it ends up looking (sort of) like a gun.The teacher reports Josh, who is then suspended for two days.Now, an assistant principal at the
school has sent a letter to parents offering counseling to kids who may
have been upset by the incident. I kid you not.“…If your children express that they
are troubled by today’s incident…our school counselor is available to
meet with any students who have the need to do so…” What happens when a little kid shows
up in the counselor’s office and says he’s angry at the lunatic teacher
who upbraided Josh Welch?Does the school suspend that little
kid, too?? Does the counselor try to convince the kid he was really
upset because he saw a danish bitten into a few right angles?“You see, Jimmy, this is classic case
of displacement. You think you’re bothered by the teacher. But really,
it was that tart. Do you get it? Your agitation may be sign of ADHD. I’m
going to refer you to a psychiatrist. He can give you medicine. It’ll
make you feel better.”

By Madison Ruppert: When Brent Daggett originally reported on firearm companies refusing to sell their products to government entities enforcing what they see as gun control laws that endanger our Second Amendment right to bear arms for End the Lie, the number of companies was quite small.That has radically changed recently with the number tripling in just
two weeks. Now some 124 companies have joined the fight against
restrictive gun laws according the Police Loophole,
a website established to track “companies that have taken the step to
publicly announce that they will not sell items to states, counties,
cities, and municipalities that restrict their citizens’ rights to own
them.”The number continues to rise and according to Gregory Gwyn-Williams, Jr. of CNS News,
“In just two weeks, the number of companies participating in what has
been named the ‘Firearms Equality Movement,’ has more than tripled from
34 companies to 118.”The number has now swelled to 124, although it is unclear where
Gwyn-Williams, Jr. obtained the 118 number for his March 9 report since
it should have been 123 on March 9, according to the Police Loophole’s
dates.Barrett summed up the movement well in writing,
“Barrett opposes those who are illegally disarming the American public
from their efficient arms and creating superior armed elitist government
agencies.”The most recent company to join the fray, C. and H. Arms, revealed their decision in a Facebook post.“Even though we love to support our nations law enforcement
agencies,” C. and H. Arms wrote, “We will not sell any item to any
agency that restricts said item to its civilians.”

Dear Reader

Are YOU Involved or Institutionalized? Our belief that the global economic crisis would persist and deepen is being vindicated and current events are now as clear as ever on the matter. Time for all of us to wake up, stand up and be counted or continue to lose all our liberties. Protect your homes and families. The sun will still rise but financial chaos and suffering due to the global fascist banksters' greed and corruption, slaughter due to the MIC's directed world wars in our name etc. is not pretty. We are feeling the effect on our society the size and like of which we have never known.

We are way past being surprised at the blanket suppression of this information by the BBC and main stream media propaganda machines. Information is clearly available elsewhere and unchallenged, accounts for a far more realistic rendition of what we have actually seen and what we continue to see develop, whilst the main stream news put out leaves many confused and bewildered, 99.9% of us wrong footed and the awakened indignant. As we can now see, the apparently 'soft fascist' powers that be aim to block these alternative avenues of information. Book up, "Long Live the Evolution."Feel free to kopimi. Angelo Agathangelou.

P.S. The MHRM, are calling out the constant misinformation disseminated by and maintain our open challenge especially to western radical feminists, to point out just one area where government in the UK, Europe or anywhere else in the English speaking world disadvantages women and girls when compared with men and boys, ...the wage disparity myth having long been debunked by serious academics and statisticians. So far this challenge has remained unanswered. Western feminism is obsolete.

N.B.

These pages exist because we believe information from all perspectives should be aired, they do not necessarily reflect our views unless explicitly stated. We do not intend to cause offense, but we feel there is a need for such a shift in our society that to call it change rather than evolution would be an understatement. A velvet revolution towards living with reality for the individual, the family and society. A revolution towards living within our means and taking responsibility for ourselves, instead of mortgaging the future of our children to bloated leech faux democracy for the benefit of Ponzi 'banksters' and The Military Industrial Complex.
